Keeping eyes open for alternatives to #vscode.

Ran into #EclipseTheia. Opened up the web page.

"Guys guys guys this is an #AI NATIVE IDE!"

🤦🏻‍♀️ It's like every other bloody IDE, then. Why is this the only thing front and center? Oh wait, *the industry.*

...In moments like this, I wish I could just enter the Konami code and the website would switch from "trying to impress the Management" mode to "developer who is actually interested of the actual features" mode.

It's like when I was a kid and the 8-bit microcomputers all had *awesome games* and the marketing material, aimed at the people who made the purchase decisions, was like "home computers have a wide variety of uses, you can keep track of the contents of the fridge... or something". And the parents were like "ooo, fridge tracking. We must evaluate these based on this important criterion."

Why Cursor, Windsurf and co fork VS Code, but shouldn't

Forking VS Code gets you to market fast, but you pay later in rebasing, licensing, and marketplace risk. Building an AI native IDE with deep UX and governance control? Start from Eclipse Theia, not a competitor fork.
